Yeah, it seems like he would've learned. Why not a three to four year contract?

As others have said, it's the price Tepper has to pay because of canning Reich so fast. Another thing, is that it Canales does work out, Tepper has him under contract for six years at a cheap rate.

The firm they used to hire Canales had the Rams give McVay a 6 year and the Niners give Shanahan a 6 year.  It is suppose to acknowledge it will take several years to correct this team and roster.  From the outside looking in, it looks like Tepper is letting the firm do their thing.

Yeah. This was expected.

Even before Sportsology was involved, general chatter was that something like this would be necessary.

I'm really not buying the Tepper tax thing with an unproven rookie HC that couldn't even smell an interview anywhere else. Moreover, since when does Tepper care about a "cheap rate?" Nah, I ain't buying it.

I do, primarily because it's the same thing that happened with Jed York.

Now that makes more sense, though I still don't necessarily love it.

It also appears Dan Morgan got the guy he wanted due to their history.  GM heavily involved in picking his HC, search and numbers mimic previous coaches hired through the same firm.  So far so good as far as Tepper meddling....

If it turns out like the other two mentioned we will all love it.  At the end of the day HC money doesn't matter to anyone but the owner.  All of the money owed to Reich doesn't affect our team outlook in any way.

Also, Tepper gave Rhule an even longer contract (7 years).  Reich probably would have gotten longer than a 4-year contract if he hadn't been 61 years old.

Some advice from an old friend...

Ron Rivera, the winningest head coach in the history of the Carolina Panthers, has some advice for new head coach Dave Canales. But before we get to that, the coach also had a few words for the team’s fans.

“Be patient,” he said. “Ask them to be patient, like they were for me.”

...

Hopefully they’ll be able to put some veteran guys around him, to help him as he tries to navigate through the pitfalls of being a head coach in the league... You have to make sure you are surrounded by people that are going to help you. You want them to tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.”

...

Rivera said one of the early errors he made as a first-time head coach at Carolina was that he didn’t find mentors quickly enough who had been head coaches in the NFL.

“That was one of the first mistakes I made,” Rivera said. “Honestly, my first two years I didn’t have a (former NFL head coach as a) mentor, somebody that when I needed some guidance or an opinion, would provide it.

...

Rivera said part of the way he connected with Charlotte was through community work and added that Canales would be smart to do the same. “This is not just about a football team,” Rivera said. “It’s about the community. You need to make sure you help with that, and I’m sure he will. That’s so important. That’s how the fans get to know who you are, so then they can get behind you and support you.”

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
